Notes about leather
There are grains and wrinkles
The surface is minimally processed to bring out the natural look of the cowhide. This means that wrinkles and grain are imprinted on the product, but we hope you enjoy the rich look that nature brings to the table.
There is discoloration and color transfer
Since the leather has not been surface-treated, color transfer to clothing may occur due to friction or exposure to water. *Please be especially careful when wearing light-colored clothing such as white, or when wearing clothing that is wet from rain or sweat.
There are blood lines and scars
The cow's scars and blood vessels are still present in the leather, and are not hidden with pigments or other materials as proof that the material is natural.
We hope you enjoy the natural texture.
Notes on specifications
There is no fabric lining
There is no lining as it is intended for metal fitting repairs.
Over time, scratches, pilling, and odors may occur.
The material of the inner pocket is different.
The leather color of the inner pocket is different from the leather color of the main body (with some exceptions)
If the main body is made of light leather such as camel or red, we will make the inner pocket out of light brown leather.
If the main body is made of dark leather such as black or green, the inner pocket will be made of black leather. 
Has a distinctive leather smell
The bag has a vegetable tanned smell, which may fade naturally, but the smell will remain inside the bag.
To prevent mold, occasionally place the bag in a well-ventilated place. 
There will be marks from sewing
The unique marks of the presser foot and feed mechanism of a powerful sewing machine are left on the front and back of the leather.
There are individual differences in weight
Because leather is a natural material, thickness varies and there will be slight individual differences in weight and size.
Interior seams may be visible
Because thick, strong thread is sewn into thick leather, the thread may be visible through the gaps between the pieces of leather when finished with a bag stitch.
About aftercare
Care instructions
Daily care: Apply mink oil every 2-3 months. Lack of oil care can lead to cracking of the leather.
*Please be careful not to apply too many coats as this will make the leather too soft.
If you will not be using the bag for a long period of time, please place it in a well-ventilated place from time to time to prevent mold.
Light stains and scratches can be made less noticeable by using an eraser or damp cloth.
